Having seen the edited footage I can't understand how anyone can say he was only putting himself at risk!
He was overtaking on double white lines and pulling crap wheelies as he did so. While I agree a jail sentence is a bit harsh I think a long ban was appropriate.
Unfortunately showing off is the scourge of biking and he was old enough to know better.
Before any of you come back with " I bet you've sped etc" then yes I have ( private road officer!) but there's a time and place and busy roads full of traffic isn't it.
Just my opinion mind.

100% correct

There is a time and place for everything, we all have a play now and then but you're an absolute idiot to do it like he did. He's just another statistic waiting to add to the "speed kills" crap they will always go on about. If you're going to have a play then do it on a back road out away from everyone, much more fun, and you don't have to worry about other idiots on the road. Have I gone fast ? yes, but i'm not an idiot that does it in the middle of traffic. Pick your place and enjoy so at least you're the only one at risk not everyone else.

We all know that the bikes quicker than the car, we all know that it's very easy to overtake with a bike but at least don't treat the road like you own it and no one else does. Just my 2c's

I recall a biker from S-Wales getting pulled over on the A470, by a Police speed 'Hairdryer' camera crew approx 15yrs ago. They spied his tank mounted camera and asked him to replay it for them. When he refused they insisted, or they would arrest him. It unfortunately showed him running at up to 150, including over 100 around blind bends allegedly. Can't recall if he got a prison sentence but he lost his licence and had a hefty fine.

15 yrs ago in the name of sweet Jesus I had a black and white tv 15 ago and was riding with an Avon square profile tyre surely the cam was bigger than the tank in them days

I run a contour+ daily on my lid, I clear the SD card every few days and if I'm going to crack on a bit I simple switch it off on the fly. There's a format button that's easily used if I'm pulled over anyway, takes seconds to format.
No problem.
